At Capitol Technology University, the commencement ceremony for the Class of 2025 is held annually (e.g., May 3, 2025), with a separate Doctoral hooding ceremony the evening before. Graduates check in early on the day, proceed in academic procession, and cross the stage under a campus tent to mark their achievement.

Their academic regalia is well-defined in the official 2025 Commencement Program. Associate degree recipients wear short, black gowns with a hood that displays Capitol Technology University’s red and black school colors. Bachelor’s students wear a longer black gown with a three-foot hood: the neckpiece color corresponds to the field of study, and the back of the hood shows the university’s red and black.

For Master’s degree graduates, the gown is the open-sleeved, traditional style. For Doctoral candidates, the gown features black velvet facings, and the hood is lined with black but has a neckpiece in gold (DSc) or royal blue (PhD), with a red-and-black rear panel to reflect the university’s colors. The doctoral cap is a distinctive six-sided tam-o’-shanter, rather than a mortarboard.

As for tassels, most students wear a black tassel, but doctoral graduates wear gold, and in some cases tassel color can match the field of study.

Capitol Technology University also supports honor cords and medallions. The Commencement Program indicates that cords or medallions are used to denote academic honors, membership in honor societies, or military service, though it does not list explicit colors for every honor or society.

Faculty regalia follows traditional academic dress: professors and platform speakers wear gowns, hoods, and caps, with discipline-specific velvet and hood neckbands (see the field-of-study color table in the program: e.g., Engineering = orange, Science = golden yellow).

In summary, Capitol Technology University’s cap, gown and tassels sets provide a polished, traditional academic look: black gowns (modified by degree level), field-specific hood colors, formal honor cords/medallions, and tassels that reflect academic rank — all rooted in their Commencement tradition.
